Mr. John Morley moved that the house re-
Jet the question Of urgency introduced by
Mr.. Smith and in support Of his motion said
that excepting 8 very narrow area Of her
territory, Ireland was seldom quieter than
now The existing evils would only be e.
gravated by the adoption Of restrictive lsgis-
lation and whatever remedies had been pro-
posed for those evils would be materially
weakened The cause Of the COM
bining Of the people Of Ireland IN the
.plan Of campaign had been declared BY
the royal land commission to be their abso-
lutte inability to pay the extravagant rack
rents demanded by the landlords Some
land agents, he said, had undertaken to
coerce tenants into purchasing their holdings
under the provisions Of the Ashbourne act,
threatening them with eviction II they did
not consent to these terms, yet the govern
ment demands urgency upon bill empower
ing such men to enforce the payment Of UNI
reasonable rent or the purchase 81 the land
at an Outrageously unreasonable price
Behind the bill, said Mr.. Morley, was the
proposal that the British governments would
be security IL the demands of the landlords
were not satisfied, thus offering premium
upon ill-treatment OF tenants Remedial
legislation, which would destroy the seeds
and root Of discomfort, would b the wisest
policy that could be pursued. When the
coercion bill was passed in 1881 evictions
and outrages increased tenfold and with the
experience OF that period before them, the
course Of the government In resorting to CO.
ercion at the present time would be unjustif-
able.
Mr.. "A. j. Balfour, chief secretary for Ire
Land, said chat in 1881 Mr.. Gladstone told
the house that it should consider not only the
amount but the character Of crime iii Ire
land. The goveininents bin was introduced
.becanse the present current Of crime was di-
iected toward the subyersion of the laws
The conversion Of the Liberal party to Home
Rule wns nothing short of confession that
their land legislation had been failure, but
the new land hill, he said, would make
smoother the working 6f the act Of 1881, and
give equitable relief to tenants. When the
opposition was prepared to receive ii, tho
government would introduce q bill dealing

ing, as soon as possible after the fowls
are as,ir. This does mot make a very
heavy call upon the energy Of any one,
for in the winter season the daylight is
not very early and the fowls do NOT
come out until the day has we'll broken.
Later in the day there should be given
two good feeds Of corn or grain, the last
of which should be about an hour be-
fore the fowls go to the roost. They
will thus be provided with capital
supply Of heat for the long night. They
must not, however, be fed too gross OF
they will become idle and fat, for in
that case there will not be any eggs
produced. A fat hon is always bad
layer, and they should be encouraged
to take as much exercise as possible, as
in that way the system is strengthened
and the powers developed.
| All the matters which have been
mentined are such as can be Influenced
now. but there is another most impor-
tant point respecting which nothing
can be done this year, namely, the time
when the fowls are Matched. II it is
desired to have eggs in winter the hens
| to lay them must be bred accordingly.
The object should be to hatch out the
chickens intended as layers so that
they will commence operations about
October. To that case they may be
fairly expected to 60 right ON through
the winter. To do this the heavier
varieties of fowls must be hatched out
in March or early April. If delayed
into May or June the probabilities are
that no eggs win be obtained until the
following spring. 1t is. however, to be
observed that local influences affect this
result very considerably, and each indi
yidual breeder will have to be guided
by these as to the time Of his breeding.
10 some very exposed positions it is
necessary to hatch earlier than March,
and in very favorable places the latter
end of April is not too late. As rule,
however, it will be found that the times
have named apply to the majority OF
places. STEPHEN BEALE.

and is growing in favor. What In my
opinion) induced farmers here to raise
it, was the failure Of red clover, on ac-
count of the nudge. So far, there has
been no enemy to the aslike, and 1t has
some advantages over the red; it is
more certain Of seed, yields more seed
to the acre, and the straw makes very
much better feed for live stock in win
ter-sheep and cattle will eat it clean
and many consider it (the threshed
straw as good as common hay. Cut
before the seed ripens, it is flrst-class
hay; sheep will fattsu on it; cows will
milk well on it without grain, and do
finely. If cut for hay. on very rich
land you may cut it twice with good re
suits; but on ordinary soils, one good
cutting with pasturing afterwards, is oil
you may be sure Of. The seed is small
and requires fewer pounds than other
clover; four pounds will make . fair
seeding, but I should rather err on the
side of liberal than thin sowing. 1t i
not as valuable for fertilizing purposes
as red clover, not having the long, large
root
Another writer says: ~ would ad
wise sowing it with timothy aud rec
clover for either meadow or pasture
For four quarts Of timothy and same
of red clover, add two quarts of alsike
for low, moist pasture lands you canno
beat it mixed with timothy, for sheer
or cattle. I have q small pasture adj
joining my wood lot which I keep fol

ago to timothy, and on one end of thii
pasture sowed little alsike. 1t has

more here than red clover, and We have

Winter Layers.

The question Of how to secure eggs
during the winter season, when they
are scarce and dear, is one that is of In
terest to every poultry keeper no matter
what his object may be.
There can be no question that the
breed Of fowls kept has . very great in.
influence ON the result. Some varieties,
much more than others, are inclined to
lay during the winter season. These
are generally the breeds which have the
most abundant fea.hsring, and hence as
a rule the Asiatic varieties are more
disposed to be good winter layers than
those which have smaller coating Of
feathers. The reason for this is not far
to seek. Where no special attention is
given during the winter season to the
fowls, as 10 frequently the case upon
farms, good winter layers are required
they must be selected from the heavier
breeds, such as Brahmas, Langshans'
Plymouth Rocks or Wyandottes. ]
have known very good layers produced
from crosses between enc Of the heavier
and one Of the non-sitting varieties. In
this country there is always very
great preference shown for eggs with
tinted shells and some who have studied
this question endsavor to secure the
benefit Of this preference. / have seen
cross made between Partridge Cochins
and Minorcas, the result of which was
most satisfactory. A Partridge Cochin
cock was used to Minorsa hens, and as
there was NO antagonistio plunage to
the Partridge feathers the chickens
came out similar to the father, while
the fecundity of the mother had great
effect upon the chickens. Such birds
have been found to produce first rate
layers during the winter season, the
eggs from which have the favorite tint.
In the same way Light Brahmas can be
used with White Leghorns; Black
Minorcas with Langshans, Plymouth
Rocks or Wyandottes. Such comb
nations would have the effect of produc.
ing FIRST rate layers, and layers at the
most profitable season Of the year.
Therefore, in striving to secure winter
layers it is necessary to think Of the
breed in the first instance.
The second consideration is necessa.
rily that Of the housing, for upon this
very much will depend. To secure
eggs the hens must be comfortably and
warmly housed. Wooden houses should
be much thicker in the material than is
usually the case, and the light portable
structures which we recommend for
use during the summer and autumn
should not be employed for the laying
hens during the winter. If, however.
there are none other at hand they must
be well lined out with straw mating, or
covered over with felting, or the Will
esdsn paper which is now being 80
much adopted in this country. In no
case must artificial heating of such
house be attempted. On farms, if the
! portable houses must be used during
the winter for the housing Ofths fowls,
THEY should all be brought into The

The Devils lake l,ouutry.

Going westward from Lakota, Dakota, we
we're surprised at the rapid growth and pro-
gress made in the last three years. Where
then was the unsettled prairie, are now
pioughed fields and snug homesteads. The
towns, too, have made rapid growth. Lako-
Ia, not in existence in 1882, is now thriving
village, with graded school for 200 pupils, a
bank, business houses and two large eleva-
tors, where 100000 bushels of wheat found a
market last year. Bartlett and Crary are
also focal points for the trade in their vicini-
~. South of the former and nine miles dis
tant is the famous Stump Lake, curiously
crooked lake, eighteen miles long and great
resort for sportsmen. 1t is so named from
the tree trunks, submerged and preserved 10y
the salt in its waters. To the south rise the
Blue Hills, marking the eastern shores of
Devils Lake. AT Crazy we are ten miles from
Devils Lake and here, az elsewhere, we note
deep, black loan, with the omnipresent
clay subsoil. Quite an amount of the land If
in cultivation, though large percentage re-
mains III the original sod and Is still unvexed
by the pillow. The country for many miles
south of Bartlett and Crsry is we'll occupied
by prosperous farmers, but north of the
track settlement extends only few miles
Beyond lies fertile, rich country, AZ good
as any in North Dakota, totally unoccupied
and only waiting TO be tickled by the pillow to
produce crops as fine as any on the continent.
These are all government lands, eligible for
entry and settlement, and in common with
others of the kind in Grand Forks and
Devils Lake land districts, are "single mini
mum" lands, that is, those on which, after
entry and residence for a term of six months,
the settler, by proving continuous occupation
for that length of time, can, by paying SLID
per acre, ''prove up" and obtain deed from
the government. Double minimum" lands,
of which, however, there are none here. lie
within the railroad land grants and at prov
ing up for deed cost double the ''single mini
mum" lands, or $3.50 per acre.
Soon after leaving Crary, heavily wooded
highlands come into view, long stretches of
water, brightly rejecting the sheen of the
sun. appear between the breaks of the low
hills, while many miles away the sharp point
of the Devils Heart, a high hill and landmark
for miles around admonish US that Devils
Lake is near at hand-ETchdHgc
